Battlestar Gallactica Spinoff to Cover 'Young William "Husker" Adama in the first Cylon War'

At the end of the 'Re-imagined' Battlestar Gallactica series, many wondered what possible spinoffs might come from this series to carry on the story. One spinoff is Caprica. However, I was hoping that another spinoff would go back to the first Cylon war and carry on the story that was introduced in a couple of webisodes during the series. This seems to be coming to life in the near future:

An online series called "Blood & Chrome" is in the works, one that would follow the experiences of a young William "Husker" Adama in the first Cylon War. - Chicago Tribune

And note that this is coming online and not straight to TV:

"Blood & Chrome" would consist of nine or 10 episodes of nine or 10 minutes each, and it would make use of cutting-edge digital technology and special effects to depict the Cylon War. If it is greenlit to production, it will be filmed using green screens and virtual sets, not unlike Syfy's "Sanctuary" or James Cameron's "Avatar." - Chicago Tribune (Go click to read the whole story)

I look forward to this coming out. I guess this is a test to see if they can make a full series out of it.
